Battlefield

“If we have decided to come back to this work now, it is because there was the need to find something relevant for us today. The Indians say – and it could sound a little vain – that everything is contained in the Mahabharata and if it is not in the Mahabharata, then it does not exist.
This great epic from thousands of years ago has grown over the years, assimilating the most important cosmic and metaphysical ideas alongside the simplest things from everyday life.”

“At a time when theatre is giddy with technology, you are struck by the way economical means are used to maximum effect.”

“The play Battlefield, performed at the Bouffesdu Nord by four visionary actors and an inspired musician, is a miracle of wisdom and poetry.”
